Why not?  (Us..and why not today?) What's stopping us?   Usually...it's us  stopping us.  But, how about if we don't let us stop us today, and how about if we ask  the Lord today.   ` And how about if we live joyfully  in His response today? God doesn't say don't ask for His blessing (whether we feel worthy of it or not.) In fact...get ready to be spiritually emboldened and empowered today: The Bible tells us to go for it  in terms of asking about God's blessings on the next generation, on  our barns to  be filled , on our flocks multiplying , and on our oxen  to be loaded down with produce.

Praise be to the   Lord   my Rock,  who trains my hands for war,  my fingers for battle.  ( 2)  He is my loving God and my fortress,  my stronghold and my deliverer, m y shield,   in whom I take refuge...    ~Psalm 144:1-2 ~~~  What will we be working at today?  What will our hands and fingers be doing ? Praise be to the Lord   our  Rock , because He  trains our  hands for war, our  fingers for battle  today.   And He trains our hands and fingers in all different ways to serve Him, to glorify Him, and to battle for Him.   Nursing  hands and fingers, trained by  the Lord   our  Rock for war and for battle  and for today. Baking   hands and fingers, trained by the Lord our Rock for war and for battle and for today. Office  hands and fingers, trained by the Lord our Rock for war and for battle and for today.
